You just aren't relevant to this discussion except where you
repeatedly demonstrate you aren't willing to listen to anyone who
hasn't drunk the devtmpfs coolaid.

If you were interested in honest review and feedback you would have
copied me from the second review onward.  You didn't do that.  Why
should I extend you the courtesy.  This isn't your decision to make.

> I think Kay has raised the proper points already.

Kay blithely replied to my points but he wasn't paying attention, and
certainly did not look at how what I have said applies to the code. 

Greg this code does not live up to the standards you have repeatedly
asserted are required for accepting core kernel code.  Neither you
nor Kay show any interest in fixing even the most trivial of bugs.
Must less discuss alternate solutions to the problem.

My recommendation stands as you are unwilling to fix bugs and listen
to other peoples opinion merging the code at this time is a bad idea.
